The main loss in the month of April within the top performing group has been taken by The Independent Online which had to put up an decrease of 38.4 % in its number of social media interactions, the site therefore dropped down from rank 6 to 8. The British-based daily newspaper which so far has built up a lucrative empire and was writing an impressive success story in march now has to look back on a negative month of april.

In April the second greatest success story within the top 20 group was written by UNILAD Gaming, a site filled with engaging games and witty slogans. Because of the increase of interactions of 28 percent, the site was able to catch up rapidly and climb up 4 places in the classification. If something matters greatly in the gaming industry and is of importance to the enthusiastic gamers, it is published on the website of UNILAD Games. The numbers speak for themselves: 936.000 shares and 390.000 comments.
